Heinz Tesar's
architecture is
associated with ideas,
and is
'value-conservative' in
this sense. But at the
same time, this
architecture relates to
its time, is modern and
open to consensus in a
subjective dialectic
between connection and
isolation. This holistic
concept is not concerned
with hierarchical orders,
but with relative
weighting.

Rob Krier, born in 1938
in Grevenmacher,
Luxembourg, is indeed

dialogue with
architecture and it is
Krier's ambition to have
iconographic themes
brought into the latter,
so that they might speak
equally to both the
occupants of a building
and to bystanders.
